Who, in your opinion are the smartest characters? I would like to believe that conan is the smartest as he seems to know everything, however in Yusaku's Cold Case (ep 690-691, chpt 812-813) it seems like Subaru Okiya was able to solve the case before Conan and even had to give Conan the hint to solve the case! Does this indicate that he's smarter than Conan or it was more like Conan was caught off guard by Sera asking him "Isn't that right?" regarding a question about Shinichi that he was unable to catch onto Sonoko saying "Ninja", the word which first gave Subaru the clue to solving the case?

Since this most likely won't be revealed any time soon, I'm making a discussion thread regarding the recently introduced middle-school girl's identity, motives, role in the plot... etc. Anyone who has any speculations about this character can post their comments here.
Spoilers should be covered with spoiler tags of course.
NOTE: Since Conan assumes that this character is female, I used the pronouns "she", "her" for convenience (instead of "they", "them", "he/she", "him/her"....), however she may very well be a male in disguise.
P/S: If anyone wants to add another specific option to the poll above, you can tell me or another moderator.

We all know that Akai Shuuichi is based on Char Aznable from the Gundam series, while Bourbon is based upon Amuro Ray from the same series. I did a little research and found out that there are many similarities besides the ones known, for example in DC Shuu and Rei starts their rivalry over the death of Scotch. In the Gundam series Amuro Ray accidentally kills Lalah Sune while she was trying to rescue Char, you can see this similar in manner but different in details in both series. So I ask of you all, to help researching and reading more into the Gundam series since I'm not a big fan of it, perhaps you might find more similarities that would help us drive forward in our analysis.

So Vermouth disguised as a serial killer in NY to lure Akai out and kill him right? But there's this one scene where Vermouth encountered Akai and instead of killing him, she fled and was shot by Akai and she fell down the stairs. My question is, why didn't she just kill him? She was supposed to kill him! Or did I miss something?

Shuuichi Akai's Death Theory! Do you think Akai Shuuichi is dead or alive? Do you think Akai Shuuichi is dead? If so, then who's that Scar Akai? If he that Scar Akai is actually him, how did he manage to escape that time at Reiha Pass? And what trick did he and Kir used to fool the organization? Discuss here! And see what most of you think!

Chapter One
She could feel someone brushing her golden locks, playing with it, combing with it. Usually she hated it when people touch her but this time she let it slide since she like the feel of his hands. It's large and very comforting, although a bit cold. She felt very safe.
“Melody.” A voice called and she stirs in her sleep, slowly opening her eyes and meeting a pair of green-cold eyes. She yawns a bit and a smirk slowly replaces her blank face, “Don't call me by my blasted name, Gin. I hate it.” She said, slowly sitting up and turning at his hand that was holding a Beretta, “What?” She asks, looking up at him. “Am I order to be killed in spot, right now?”
Gin's hand is different. His hands could never be the comforting hand in her Dreams. Gin's. No. Their hands can only shine when it was bathed in Blood. That's their only purpose. Their only use.
“I'm just holding in case of emergency.” He gruff, tucking the Beretta back on his coat as he sat at the Bed and staring at her, “What?” She asks. Then sighing as she looks down at her feet, it was wrapped in a tight bandage. “I want to go outside.”
“Except you can't walk.”
“Doesn't mean you need to tie me.” She said, turning at the cuff on her feet. “If I don't tie you with something. You'll go away.” He simply said. Examining the Red-eyed beauty that was glaring at him while some of her golden hair falls from its disheveled form.
"Who said I am going to run away?"
"The Stake Out was a failed. Accept it now." He said to her and she just look away. "I told you, I can easily sniff that guy out and kill him! If only you would release me!" Melody snaps angrily!
"We got what we wanted from him. No need to go after him."
She sighs. Yesterday, she was caught up in an explosion while killing no, taking information from a Guy about Politics. She doesn’t care about Japan nor any country out there but she knows a mere information can change a lot of things once it landed on the Organization. Sounds impossible? No.
After all, Common Logic doesn't apply to them.
“So, it’s true.” A silky voice said as the door open and reveal a woman wearing a sun glass and a black dress, albeit their Color. Vermouth. “You're tied in a cuff. Poor Melody.” She said, her voice laced with either mockery or sarcasm as she removed her sun glass.
“Who gave you damn permission to call me by name?” She asks and Vermouth just smirks. “What? Is it a name that was meant to be used by him?” Vermouth purred as she walks to her, leaning into her ear, “Right… A name that should only be mention by Akai...Shuuichi.” Vermouth pull back and smirk when she saw glaring at her,
“Shut up.” Melody angrily sneered, pulling out a Gun from nowhere and shooting her hair! Grazing her face a bit as blood trickled down. "A Gun?" Gin asks, looking at her in disbelief. "How did you-" He slowly ask. He was sure that he got rid of all of her weapon.
"Come on, Gin. A Gun is nothing but a pearl to her. She can hide it anywhere." Vermouth said with a laugh.
“Isn't that right, Wine?”
Wine. Was her Codename.
“Just Leave Me Alone.” She angrily snap. And Gin stand up, leading Vermouth to the door and going out. As he close the door behind him, Gin let out a hoarse sigh, “You shouldn't have mention Akai Shuuichi.” He said and Vermouth just smile.
“I love seeing that woman in pain.”
